Dog Training the American Male

Meet Dr. Nancy Beach, a relationship counselor who hosts a local radio show called "Love's a Beach." One problem: The relationship guru can't seem to make her own relationships work, sending her credibility and ratings into the toilet. Meet Jacob Cope-a walking thesaurus of phobias-a Lehman Brothers casualty who's lost his job and swagger and now yearns to be a ventriloquist. When Nancy and Jacob are set up on a blind date and hit it off, their siblings, desperate to be rid of them, encourage the young couple to move in together. When the honeymoon stage abruptly ends, Jacob attempts to mend the fence by adopting a dog-a big dog-and Nancy flips out . . . until she realizes the dog trainer's techniques can be used to housebreak Jacob and save her radio career.
